NMC Code 049
The Law Enforcement Certificate of Achievement (Level ll) is the program of study for the following police academy applicants only:
-
Students who have earned an associate degree or higher from an accredited college or university.
-
Students who have served as a military police officer for a minimum of one year.
-
Students attending as “Employed Recruits” (sponsored) with a law enforcement agency.
NMC runs two full time 16 week police academies. One academy occurs during the fall semester and one academy occurs during the spring semester. Students must earn a minimum of 2.0 in each course and satisfy additional MCOLES requirements prior to qualification to take the state licensing exam. When all of the pre-enrollment standards have been met, including basic training and a passing score on the licensing exam, a candidate may become a sworn law enforcement officer if they are hired by an agency and MCOLES activates their license.
Enrollment in the Law Enforcement Certificate program requires approval from the Police Academy Director and the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES). In order to begin the application process, students must first pass the MCOLES pre-enrollment Reading & Writing and Physical Fitness tests. Please review the NMC Police Academy web page for detailed information. Please contact Director Kurowski with any additional questions at gkurowski@nmc.edu or (231) 995-1283.
